Five specimens of Ellobius lutescens, four males and one female, were studied by several banding methods. Structural polymorphism occurred in the longest chromosome pair of the karyotype of two males: a pericentric inversion in one animal and a paracentric inversion in the other. In the female studied, one chromosome 1 differs from those of the males by a marked elongation of a proximal euchromatic band in the long arm. Thus, the female seems to represent the heterogametic sex. Chromosome 9 showed the same banding pattern in both sexes. The possible meaning of this chromosome constitution for the sex-determining mechanism of E. lutescens is discussed.
